Opened in 1997, Victor Drai’s iconic nightclub changed the Las Vegas landscape by introducing nightlife to the Las Vegas Strip

The iconic Drai’s Beachclub • Nightclub • After Hours at The Cromwell is celebrating a first in Las Vegas nightlife – a remarkable 25-year anniversary for the iconic club. The party will be held where it all began; at Drai’s After Hours in the basement of The Cromwell on Saturday, Oct. 15.

The legendary Victor Drai opened Drai’s After Hours in 1997 and forever changed the Las Vegas Strip by introducing nightlife to a casino. Still going strong as the ultimate late-night, see-and-be-seen party destination 25 years later, Drai’s was recently voted “Best After Hours” by Las Vegas Weekly’s “2021 Best of Vegas.” Originally opened as a sister restaurant of Drai’s highly successful Los Angeles restaurant, Drai’s soon pivoted to become a popular after-hours club playing house music.

Drai’s After Hours is a sleek, sexy and exclusive lounge that has been famous for wrapping up the night with in-demand DJs throughout the past two decades. Though Drai’s After Hours first became known for playing house music, the club has transitioned to hip hop throughout the years. The club is made up of four intimate rooms, totaling more than 13,000 square feet, and offers VIP bottle service in addition to an expansive bar selection and is one of the only spots on the Strip to offer hookah nightly.

Building on the venerable success of Drai’s After Hours, Drai has built a nightlife empire that now showcases Drai’s Beachclub • Nightclub, which takes entertainment and nightlife to new heights in an unmatched setting – 11 stories high on the rooftop of The Cromwell with dazzling views of the Las Vegas Strip.  Drai’s Nightclub is a 30,000-square-foot palatial, multi-level club with an expansive dance floor, massive LED lighting systems, and modern technology featuring more than 7,000 square feet of the most state-of-the-art high-definition LEDs in production, including a towering 80-sided LED disco ball – the only one of its kind. Drai’s Nightclub is home to Drai’s LIVE, an unprecedented concert series that provides fans with the opportunity to see full-length performances by top performers like Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown in an up-close setting unlike anything else in the world. Drai’s Beachclub is a 35,000-square-foot oasis with multiple pools shaded by eight towering palm trees, a variety of cabanas and bungalows, a full-service gourmet kitchen and two full-service bars.

Open from 1 a.m. – 6:30 a.m. Thursday – Sunday, Drai’s After Hours is by reservation only, with more information available here, as well as on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at @draisafterhours.

Drai’s Nightclub is the only nightclub in Las Vegas that offers full-length concerts by today’s top-charting artists. Every weekend, the Drai’s LIVE concert series brings music’s biggest names to the rooftop of The Cromwell, with banner performances set to the stunning backdrop of the lights of the Las Vegas Strip. Drai’s Nightclub is open from 10 p.m. – 4 a.m. Friday – Sunday.  Drai’s Beachclub is open from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Friday – Sunday until Oct. 2, after which it will be open from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.  Friday – Saturday through Oct. 15.
